The Bee's Knees
Hotel bar · Beachfront
Hours not listed
A 1920s Prohibition-inspired, bee-themed speakeasy bar and kitchen tucked inside the beachfront Marquis de Lafayette Hotel at 501 Beach Avenue in Cape May. Full craft-cocktail bar (honey-forward, Prohibition-era drinks such as the Bee's Knees and Giggle Juice) with a seasonal kitchen serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a private-event 'Blind Tiger' bar and the oceanfront Barefoot Bar. The venue advertises a daily music and events calendar; specific live-music dates and performers are announced only on its Facebook and Instagram, not on the website.

No entertainment listed
The venue prominently advertises live music: the homepage says 'Follow us for our Daily Music and Events calendar!' and the site has an 'Events & Live Music' section (https://beeskneescapemay.com/, https://beeskneescapemay.com/specials-%26-events). It has booked named touring acts in the past (e.g. Mike Pinto, 2025-07-05, per a Shazam concert listing). However, as of 2026-08-22 NO dated live-music schedule - no recurring music night with a day/time, and no named performers - is published on any accessible source. The website's only schedule graphic is a food/drink Daily Specials card (Mon Ladies Night, Taco Tuesday, Wings Wednesday, Thursday Cheesesteak/Crabs), not music. Music is announced only via Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/beeskneescm/) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/beesknees.capemay/), both of which block scraping; the only dated upcoming event visible on Instagram is a comedy show (Jersey Devil Comedy, Mon 2026-08-24, 8pm - not live music). CapeMay.com, Bandsintown, Songkick and allevents.in carry no dated Bee's Knees music listings. Consequently no live-music event claims were imported; the batch file is empty pending an accessible dated schedule. Named rooms: 'Blind Tiger Bar' (indoor private-event space) and the oceanfront 'Barefoot Bar', both on the venue's own site.
